Christian Advent Calendars
This half term in RE, Year 3 have been learning about Advent and have been working towards answering the question “How and why is Advent important to Christians?”
Today they created their own Christian advent calendar using card, glue, colouring pencils and scissors. They coloured in each candle on the Advent Wreath to represent hope, peace, joy and love (remembering that the third candle for joy is pink and not purple), then drew a Christmas picture to be revealed behind each door.
They will then be able to take them home and open each door on each Sunday of Advent as they count down to Christmas. I’m sure you’ll agree, the finished results are fabulous!
KS1 and 2 visit to St. Nicholas Church
Children from KS1 and KS2 took a wintry Christmas walk to St Nicholas’ Church this morning. Once there, the children sung some of their favourite Christmas songs in this beautiful environment and talked with Rev. Paul about how Christians celebrate Christmas.
Rev. Paul was very impressed with some of the questions relating to the church itself.
All of the children were so impeccably behaved and are a real credit to our school!
Thank you Rev Paul.
